Groupings and Cast

I, Elliott humbles, will be playing the nerd character in the video we have planned for the song "As long as you know" by SCAR. I will be wearing the most stereotypical costume we can find for a nerd character (see Costume). The scenes that will be done with this character will be the games console and female scene, doing maths and female scene and various band shots where this character will be playing the bass guitar.

This is Edwina Mears, another member of the group. As media students we all share something in common, Eddie usually has some very good ideas, does drama and therefore is also good at acting and director roles, well organized and lastly has some good contacts for location e.g. Tolethorpe hall. In the actual production she will also star in the video as the female character seen in the narrative side of the promo. She will be seen in scenes such as those with the nerd character, punk character and lead character (see Storyboard for a clearer idea of the scenes), the costume of this character will be a floaty white dress (see Costume) . On day one of the shoot she will also be directing the shoot of the band shots and doing the majority of the filming as the rest of us feature in this part (however we will all have a say in what is happening obviously).



Ben Thorogood is yet another member of the group. He is the "go to guy" for the tech aspect of the shooting and editing processes, he is also a music and drama student giving him acting, directing and music skills that are all key to the music promo we will be producing. In our video he will be playing, and only recently changed, the punk drummer. He was originally cast as the camp guitarist, however due to casting issues this character was scrapped and he became the drummer. As a drummer himself he has the knowledge to produce some very convincing drumming allowing it to be easily synced with the track. Clothing will again be as stereotypical to the typical punk as possible (again see Costume). On both days he will have equal input into the filming and acting as the rest of us, however a great deal of input will be expected as he has drawn the storyboards thus allowing me to produce a shooting script for us to go by.








The last member of our media group is Becky Doyle. She is again a keen media student sharing interests with all group members. She has a great deal of input into the majority of the creative aspects of the video and ancillary tasks, especially because she is also a keen artist and therefore her creative ideas shine through. Although Becky was originally our main director and cameraman and would not be featured in the actual video, due to casting issues for the punk drummer which Ben has now filled, with a lot of persuasion, Becky has taken the place that was originally the camp guitarist with what will now be a regular female guitarist (see Changes in the plan) with a joke involved.



As all other characters were cast for by ourselves with the exception of the lead we had to find someone who would fit the bill, someone who was free from other commitments on both days of filming and wouldn't mind being the front man to our band. This fell to the task of Luke Doyle, Becky's brother (she believed he owed her a favor, so there were no brother vs sister disputes). He is a previous media student and has played as the lead singer in other produced promos so we knew he would be both comfortable and capable of doing the job. As the lead he plays as the "normal" guy who is in a serious relationship with the female character, all as part of the narrative.
